European Universities started …
.. leaving X
#Universities in #Amsterdam, #Vienna, #Berlin, #Karlsruhe, #Aachen and other cities in Europe have left microblogging service X during the last week(s).
They justify this step with the systematic lack of moderation on the platform, which has resulted in a flood of hate speech, disinformation and cyberbullying.
Some of them have already started to run channels on Mastodon: @npub17a55...qfs9, @npub1t9st...76lx, [@KIT_Karlsruhe](
), @npub1qw4a...s8f0 @npub1wqmm...ujaa, @npub12qvt...unc3, @npub15te2...zmvd , [@HTW_Berlin](
), [@uni_paderborn](
).
X is not a suitable medium for communication in #research and #education. Help get the other #universities to follow suit and sign the petition
